This year Ryde Business Association asked for children and young people to design a Christmas Card for Ryde – and they certainly didn’t disappoint with a huge amount of entries received.
Organisers have narrowed down all the entries to 8 winning designs, which will now be produced as a set of Christmas cards for people to purchase thanks to Beardsalls and The Arty Card Company.
Toby Beardsall who helped judge the competition commented:
“It was lovely to see the winners faces of the RBA Christmas card competition. Who knew Christmas could be portrayed in so many different ways. There was an excellent standard from the young artists of Ryde”.
Money raised will go back to the Business Association to help fund activities and events in the town in 2018.
Zoe Thompson, Chair of RBA said:
“Part of what we are doing with Ryde Business Association is helping people see the connection between local business and our local community. They go hand in hand, and it is what makes for a thriving town. This Christmas card competition, really helps demonstrate this ethos. From wonderful designs from the children, local businesses helping to produce and stock them, and local people buying them. We will certainly be running the competition again next year”.
Packs of the Ryde Christmas cards can be purchased at Beardsalls, Splash and Ryde Library.
Winning Designs by Amelia Boswell; Sophia Harris; Abby Lacey; Isabella Stanbridge; Maisie Sullovan; Stanley Kerr; Keira Lacey and Dylan Lewis.
